Congratulations to Dr. Justin Barrett on his new grant “Is Religion Natural? The Chinese Challenge” funded by the Templeton World Charity Foundation. This project involves participation from 5 other universities and it has been designed with two aims in mind: (1) scientifically address one of humanity’s big questions, and (2) create a blue print for a new and growing body of scholars to continue asking and answering such questions in the world’s largest nation.

Dr. Maria Wong joined the School of Psychology faculty at Fuller this fall and TRI is really excited to welcome her and looking forward to her research taking off. Dr. Wong comes from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign where she was trained as a developmental psychologist. Her research focus is on children’s social and emotional development but she intends to expand that to development of spirituality. She is also very excited about getting involved in projects involving China either by providing psychological and pastoral counseling training to Chinese seminaries or helping Chinese scholars build an indigenous perspective on the psychology of religion. Welcome!!
